Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes

Summary: primary objective: to compare exposure and activity of sar342434 to us-approved and eu-approved humalog®. secondary objective: to assess the safety and tolerability of sar342434.

the total study duration for a screened subject will be about 3 - 8 weeks (min-max duration, excl. screening) * screening: 2 to 28 days (d -28 to d -2) * treatment period 1 - 3: 2 days (1 overnight stay) * washout: 5 - 18 days (preferentially 7 days between consecutive dosing) * end-of-study visit: 1 day between d 5 and d14 after last administration of investigational product.
